One day after the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, which gave constitutional abortion rights to women for more than 50 years, a Texas senator is now going viral online for comparing it to another landmark ruling that was overruled related to racial segregation.
Sen. John Cornyn responded to a tweet by former president Barack Obama that denounced the Roe v. Wade decision. Cornyn's tweet said "Now do Plessy vs Ferguson/Brown vs Board of Education."

every ruling where the court created law instead of interpreting it should be thrown out all at once. Since EVERY DECISION like that is unconstitutional.
The issues involved are irrelevant.
What is wrong with this? That is the most clear-cut case for overturning precedent in SCOTUS history, until now.
How about Miranda and Juan Corona?
Cornyn wants to change with subject from dumping his load on the Constitution and joining Biden to pass Gun Control.
Why don’t you go back to the Dred Scott decision while you’re at it Cornholio.
Cornyn was really taken to the woodshed in Texas for his vote on gun control. Will be interesting to see how he fares on reelection
I wouldn’t put it past a Twitter employee from having posted on Cornyn’s account. Only the stupidest of Democrats (redundant, I know) would believe anyone would post something as monumentally stupid as that.
Bad court decisions should be overturned.
Plessy v Ferguson is the classic example. That second decision (Brown v Bd of Education) righted a wrong and is held in reverence by the Left.
Roe v Wade was wrong and should have been overturned.
That second decision (Dunn) righted a wrong — but is the Left arguing that you cannot have any sort of “do over”? Your first court decision must be sacrosanct and never be re-visted? Should we take this approach to Roe? To Plessy? Both? One of them? Neither?
Cornyn is inarticulate. I guess that happens when you twatter too much. He’s no constitutional scholar. He’s no conservative. He’s not America first. He is just another leftist trader to the constitution masquerading as a Republican.
The only time I can imagine showing great thanks to Mr. Cornyn, is when he resigns.
Cornyn should be primaried.
Really?
‘
Cornyn has nothing to do with Conservatives or America First.
He may have been drunk.
He’s been helping the Left.
Like Adam Kid Zinger, Swalwell, the DC Diva (Cheney), and Lindsey - it’s next to impossible to discern what they really believe because there’s so much manipulation.
I could see him saying he was hacked - like Joy Reid - and having the powers accept that because he aids the Left.
.
So...you think the Court should reverse the decisions in both? As Cornyn seems to be advocating?
The point was that Plessy vs Ferguson was seen as “precedent” and overturned 50 years later by Brown vs Board.
His statement makes no sense.....Brown vs Board....overtunes Plessy...
Why would he want to “do” something that has already been done?
While Cornyn doesn’t deserve to be a senator, there’s nothing wrong with his tweet.
Either KHOU is intentionally fake news or they are idiots.
No.
I honestly can’t even tell what point Cornyn is trying to make.
My view is that the Court has a reasonable track record of fixing it’s mistakes. Plessy was a mistake. It got fixed. We’re done with that now. Roe was a mistake. It just got fixed. We’re done with that now.
The Left is always looking for “do overs” when they don’t get their way. I’m not. Right now, I think we’re in a pretty decent place.
Much a do about nothing
